Type: Full Time
Min. Experience: Experienced
http://ultraviolet.theresumator.com/apply/
UltraViolet is looking for a senior strategist and project director with 10+ years of experience to work hand-in-hand with our Co-Executive Directors to flip the script on how people think and talk about abortion. If you’re passionate about changing the abortion debate and have a proven track record of running media-savvy, culturally-relevant projects mobilizing millions of people, you should apply for this job.
UltraViolet is a powerful and rapidly growing community of people from all walks of life who work together to fight sexism and expand women’s rights. Whether it’s politics or pop culture, UltraViolet members are ready to take action to create a cost for sexism. At more than one million members strong, we’ve taken on powerful people and institutions -- from the NFL and Facebook to Donald Trump and Paul Ryan -- to call out sexist attacks on women and make progress on our priority issues: economic security, ending violence against women, abortion and health care, and sexism in the media, pop culture, and politics.
Through our Reproductive Rights and Culture Project, we aim to flip the script on abortion--to move us from a country that shames and restricts women to one that supports and empowers women, our lives, and our decisions.
Equality at a higher frequency is what we're all about.
